​3DC showcases new 3D graphene nanomaterial for batteries at CES 2026 

At CES 2026, Japanese startup 3DC showcased a new 3D graphene nanomaterial designed to improve fast-charging and high-power battery performance. The material, called Graphene MesoSponge (GMS), uses a porous, nanoscale structure that allows electrons to move more freely inside battery electrodes. Unlike flat graphene sheets, GMS forms a connected internal network, which 3DC says reduces resistance and improves charging efficiency.

Founded in 2022, 3DC is commercializing research that began nearly a decade earlier at Tohoku University. The company is backed by Open Innovation funding from Hyundai and is currently operating at pilot scale while working with global battery manufacturers.
